Bohl said today that he has no interest in coaching at Ball State.

With all due respect to FargoBison, I have never heard a coach say he wants to take another job when he already has one. Then, miraculously, 3,4, or 5 days later said coach is introduced as the new head coach somewhere else.

Not saying Bohl isn't being honest, but the "I'm not interested in another job" card has been played so many times I have a hard time believing anyone that uses it anymore.

So until the Ball State job is filled the Bison might as well expect Bohl to be gone.

He told our AD he has no interest, so I'm pretty sure he has no interest.

North Dakota State athletic director Gene Taylor said Tuesday night that head football coach Craig Bohl is not interested in the head job at Ball State, a Division I Football Bowl Subdivision school.

“He called me and told me that he has no interest,” Taylor said. “I don’t know where it got started.”

Re: NDSU Bohl possible Ball State!

While I defer to Fargo on the school and press angle on the story, if the money is right a person's "interest" can swing pretty quickly. I wonder if the Bison hadn't had such a down year last year if Bohl would have been considered for other jobs after this season. Seems to me that many ADs might be waiting it out to see if this year was the abberration or if the season or two of struggles were.

Re: NDSU Bohl possible Ball State!

That is true, those down years hurt Bohl especially last year with all the off the field garbage. Which he has cleaned up but I think AD's will want to see another solid year on and off the field for Bohl.

That said, I don't think Bohl is in a hurry to go anywhere. He is one of the highest paid coaches in the FCS and has a great relationship with our AD.

MVFC to MAC is almost, but not quite a lateral move . . .

Plus his house and new wife. I think he is happy with his 200,000K yr job in Fargo, plus he gets a Conference and National Title he surpasses 300,000k. I know its not what the FBS schools pay but he will be alot farther from his home state of NE in Eastern Indiana. Now if someone in the plains or Iowa, MS, KS, etc offer he will think alot more

Does Bohl really care about going back to Nebraska just for a visit? I really wonder about that as he left on conditions that raised a number of questions about his personal life. Messy divorce and his inconsisent defenive coaching, etc. I think he could care less about going anywhere near Lincoln. I think he enjoys the frozen tundra of Fargo too much to move on. You guys are stuck with him. Lucky you. I think you got a whale of coach.

Yeah it looks like he'll make $290,000 and if he meets all of his incentives it could go as high as $335,000.

I think Bohl might drop the whale talk, on one of the last coaches shows this year he said somebody he knows told him he was going to strangle himself if he heard Bohl say "whale of a game" one more time.
